Halo 2 for Windows Vista.

Basically Halo 2 for PC yes, but you'll need Windows Vista for it.

Halo 2 Vista, is well, what else would you expect? Halo 2 on Windows Vista.

Also, couldn't you have read the freaking FAQ for H2V here at Bungie.net instead of posting this?

Unfortunately the most uncommon thing in the world is common sense.

Actually, that's wrong. Halo2Vista WILL run very good and slick on a DX10 supported card, but if I'm not mistaken, you can still play with a DX9 card. As long as it's very, very good (like the 7950GX).

the 6800GT will run it smoothly

  • 10.07.2006 6:34 PM PDT

If DirectX 10 hardware acceleration is not available, Windows Vista will use DirectX 9. Which makes sense because the betas and release candidates run on current generation hardware with no DirectX 10 support. There is currently no hardware (available to the public) with DirectX 10 support. So I'm assuming they're testing it on current generation DirectX 9 cards...
